Currently at ebay: TC 265k. YOE 6. Just got promoted to senior product manager. Got an offer from TikTok in their advertiser space. I want a change from my current role and work for a more cutting edge company. Plus I think I should be paid more for my years of experience. I am worried about the wlb at TikTok but it is a really cool product area and the team is mostly based in San Jose. UPDATE: Declined offer and will keep interviewing :) thanks for the advice everyone! For level 2-1: Base salary: $225K Bonus percentage: 25% RSUs: 385 Total Package: $300k Additional sign-on bonus: $50K Total TC for the first year: 350k
Would love people’s reasoning to the polls as well!
That TC difference isn’t worth jumping honestly, voted for ebay
I wouldn’t join for that less of a difference. Plus TikTok will make you hate yourselves
Thanks for sharing, can u share a bit more
Hold off for a year. They will give you 2-2.
RSUs mean nothing, you can’t turn them into cash 💀
TikTok wlb is going to be a rude awakening. I don’t think $30k is nearly worth it, but you do you.
Mhmm even with the sign on bonus of 50k. I wouldn’t stay longer than a year. Is it mostly just the wlb?
Sign-on barely registers for me. It won’t affect your future earnings and you’ll lose it if you wash out (probability > 50%). TT is firmly in my “don’t even interview” category. https://medium.com/@melodychu/what-its-really-like-working-at-tiktok-part-1-956ec17e3371
Not worth talking with personal experience if I am in your situation knowing the culture in TikTok wouldn’t have joined
Not too big of a difference to make a move. Also i heard people working at odd hours almost in china time zone.
Can confirm this
Do you think I could negotiate the offer up to a 2-2?
Do you think there is any chance of negotiating a hybrid or remote option?

What do vegetarian Indians eat for protein?
Downlevel. Usually would be good if your goal is higher pay with lower scope. But everyone at TT has massive scope Do you mean 385 units? That is very low…
Yea I agree. I was expecting to get 2-2. I am trying to push for it but we’ll see. Not sure if the slightly higher pay is worth the long hours
OP, I would recommend not taking it
